No-Bake Carrot & Walnut Energy Balls

Soft, no-bake bites made with grated carrots, walnuts, dates, and oats, spiced with a hint of cinnamon. A naturally sweet energy snack that sneaks in a full serving of vegetables.

Ingredients

  • 1 medium Carrot
  • 0.5 cup Rolled Oats
  • 8 pieces Medjool Dates
  • 0.5 teaspoon Ground Cinnamon

Instructions

  1. Add the chopped carrot to a food processor and pulse until finely minced.
  2. Add the walnuts (1 cup / 105g), pitted dates, oats, and cinnamon. Blend until the mixture clumps together and feels sticky when pressed between your fingers.
  3. If desired, add 1 tablespoon of chia or hemp seeds and pulse briefly.
  4. Using a small scoop or tablespoon, portion the mixture and roll into bite-sized balls between your palms.
  5. Optionally roll in shredded unsweetened coconut for a coating.
  6. Serve immediately or refrigerate for 20 minutes for a firmer texture.
  7. Safety note: Cut each ball in half or quarters for toddlers to reduce choking risk. Ensure tree nuts have been safely introduced.
